A NEW LEASE OF LIFE.

When one has been suffering the agnnia-
Of severe attack of rheumatism. neural
gia or scistica and relief comes, it seems as
IL new lease of life had been granted.
Such have been the feelings OF thousands
who, after trying physicians and number
less remedies, have used Athlophoros aud
found 10 their great JOY that this medicine
really did cure these diseases.
q. P. Shatfer, formerly managing editor
of the News-Register, Youngstown. O,
said in recent interview with him: Il
have suffered from rheumatism for about
thirteen years. At different intervals |
have been unable to attend to my business
OR weeks at time. The most Of my
trouble was in NV hands and arms. The
pain WAS usually accompanied with con-
siderable swelling Of NV hands. During
these years | have used many kinds Of
remedies with only temporary relief Being
in the newspaper business had come in
contact with various medicines that were
advertised in our columns, but really never
had much faith in patent medicines. A
little over three years ago my attention was
called to Athlophoros. | noticed from
time to time the strong endorsement of

Through this means | concluded to try the
medicine for my own case. Twas relieved
and cured in a remarkably short time"
Have You been troubled with rheuma-
tism since" was asked. Il was entirely
rid of it for two years and then had another
slight attack, but few doses Of Athlopho-
ros soon drove it away since that time,
about a year ago, have been entirely free
from rheumatism. This was all done with
less than a bottle of medicine. | always

Every druggist should keep Athlophoros
and Athlophoros Pills, but where they can
not be bought of the druggist the Athlo-
phoros Co, liz Wall St, New York, will
send either carriage paid on receipt Of
regular price, which is Sl.O0 per bottle
for Athlophoros and Soc. for Pills.
For liver and kidney diseases, dyspepsia, in

Cosing the Dead.

A new sort Of cremation, or rather in
cineration. has been produced by a gas
engineer Of MOnongahela, by which it is
said the solid and volatile portions of
bodies are separated, the former into a
mummy of coke and the latter into gas.
The remains are not reduced 10 ashes, but
will be returned to friends, TO stand up in
the corner or keep in any shape that their
tastes may prefer. A dog was killed and
brought to the gas works, and the retort
being heated TO the proper degree, the body
was showed in and the caps screwed on.
The gas gauge was watched and it was
found that while the dog WAS incinerated
he made lS0 feet of gas. In the course OF
a couple of hours the retort was opened.
The frame of the dog was whole, being
formed into a perfect piece Of coke, which
could be handled with no more danger of
breaking than an ordinary piece Of coked
coal, and when removed but IA very slight
odor was emitted from the retOrt.-Chi-

Experiments made at the New York
agricultural station make it appear that
treatment of the seed will prevent smut.
Copper sulphate can be purchased at Re,

its use is attended with very little trouble.
Seed soaked seventeen and one half hours
in this solution were found Ia produce a
slight amount Of smut. Soaked forty
hours all germs Of the fungus We're killed.
Caustic potash. cheap substance for sale
in most groceries, or easily obtained by
teaching wood ashes, was most effective
in destroying all smut within seventeen

effective, destroying nearly all the smut

Steaminy Versus Fumigating.

A correspondent in The Garden directs
the attention of plant and orchid growers
to the advantages of the practice Of boil
ing tobacco juice in houses for the destruc-
tion of insects over the old practice Of
fumigating. One great advantage is that
the steam does not scald nor discolor the
most tender foliage nor the most delicate
flower: that it can be done without pre-
vious preparation, i. e, drying the foliage,
etc; and that the operator can walk
about in the house if necessary during the
operation.
